Harper’s 10th-inning single lifts Nationals past Reds

WASHINGTON — On a night when right-hander Stephen Strasburg struggled and the Nationals put themselves in an early hole, Washington used the long ball and an unlikely component — the bullpen — to pull out a satisfying victory.

Bryce Harper singled in the winning run in the 10th inning, Brian Goodwin homered twice and the Nationals rallied past the Cincinnati Reds 6-5 on Friday night.

Anthony Rendon and Daniel Murphy also homered for the Nationals, who trailed by four runs in the second inning and 5-2 in the sixth before storming back to deal the Reds their 12th loss in 13 games.
